Documents
Staff manage files under Settings → Documents (Documents in the staff nav area). Owners read shared and their own files in the portal.
Visibility
When you upload, choose:
- Shared — all owners at this barn — every linked portal owner can open the file
- A specific client — only that owner sees it in their portal (private boarding contract, personal Coggins packet, etc.)
Horse-scoped visibility may appear for entity-linked files in some flows; client detail also has an entity documents panel for owner-specific uploads.
Upload
- Open Documents.
- Choose a file (PDF or common document/image types supported by storage).
- Add a clear title owners will recognize.
- Set visibility (shared vs client).
- Submit — success confirms the upload.
Who can see what
| Audience | Shared docs | Client-only docs |
|---|---|---|
| Staff (org members) | Yes | Yes (all clients) |
| Portal owner | Yes | Only their client |
| Public / unauthenticated | No | No |
Best practices
- Put barn rules, emergency plans, and fee schedules as shared.
- Put individual contracts and medical packets as client-only.
- Use descriptive titles (“2026 Boarding Agreement — Smith”) so owners find files quickly.
- Delete obsolete versions after uploading replacements so the portal stays clean.
